Summary

Relaxation exercises are an important factor in improving diabetes management and quality of life. Diet, exercise, medication and insulin therapy are important components of diabetes management. Among the goals that relaxation exercises should achieve is not only to provide information but also to ensure the patient's active participation in treatment by improving their application skills. Progressive Relaxation Exercises (PGE) are among the effective improvement techniques in the care process. Type 2 diabetes is a common metabolic disease and its chronic complications include neuropathic pain, fatigue and sleep disorders. Nurses play an important role in the care of these patients and the management of such symptoms is at the center of nursing practice. As a result, examining the effects of relaxation exercises on neuropathic pain, fatigue and sleep quality for patients with type 2 diabetes can increase the effectiveness of non-pharmacological approaches in nursing care and improve the quality of life of patients. Such studies have the potential to increase the quality of care and patient satisfaction by supporting the evidence-based practices of nurses. Hypotheses of the Study Hypothesis (H0): Progressive relaxation exercise has no effect on neuropathic pain, fatigue, and sleep quality of individuals with Type 2 diabetes.

Hypothesis (H1): Progressive relaxation exercise has an effect on the neuropathic pain level of individuals with Type 2 diabetes.

Hypothesis (H2): Progressive relaxation exercise has an effect on the fatigue level of individuals with Type 2 diabetes.

Hypothesis (H3): Progressive relaxation exercise has an effect on the sleep quality of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. In light of all this information, the proposed study aimed to investigate the effects of relaxation exercises applied to study groups formed with diabetic patients on neuropathic pain, sleep quality and fatigue.
